I use Zabbix to monitor my switches, routers, and Proxmox environment. The dashboard is very convenient and customizable, so I only see what I want and need, along with problems the software thinks I should address as soon as possible. It also looks for extra devices connected to specific VLANs and networks. Zabbix gives me more information for troubleshooting, so I’m not going in blind and can pin down the culprit without a lot of guesswork. It lets me know if something may go down or needs an update, and the graphing is really nice to show managers when they need more information. The documentation has made setup a lot easier. Once everything is built, it’s really nice to map out the network, and it’s a little fun to build. The initial setup was pretty simple after I found the login information.

I find Zabbix very cost-friendly compared with similar monitoring products. It supports a wide range of monitoring applications, and with SNMP I can monitor virtually anything in our environment. Being able to monitor battery and UPS status is great. I also appreciate the documentation and online resources, which have helped with the tweaks we've made and setting it up the way we want.

I like that Zabbix is highly configurable and adaptable to any particular condition or need of the environment. It provides me with detailed information about the state of infrastructures and services, with very high-resolution and highly customizable metrics, configurable alarms, and standard notification mechanisms. Unlike the previous product, I can configure and adapt it to our needs. The initial setup was simple. It is the best monitoring product I know; moreover, it is free, highly customizable, and new versions are constantly released.
